Paige Golden dominated the volleyball court for Keuka College. Golden remains the career leader in kills with 1,087 and is one of only three student-athletes in program history to be a member of the 1,000-kill club. She came to Keuka College from Kent, N.Y., and Albion High School. Golden was on the court a lot for the Wolves in her first season, but primarily from the service line as she hit 41 aces, second-most on the team.
Her offensive role progressed in her second season. Golden went from averaging 0.48 kills per set in her first season to 2.91 kills per set in her second. In total, Golden had 285 kills to lead the team. She added a team-leading 45 aces and ranked second on the team with 431 digs. Golden earned her first all-conference honor in 2011, being named to the first team.
Production continued to increase for Golden throughout her remaining two seasons. She hit 372 kills as a junior and topped that mark with 383 in her senior season. She was also among the team leaders in aces and digs in each of the two seasons. Golden capped her career with two more First Team All-Conference honors. She remains in the top ten for aces in a career and ranks second in digs with 1,462 over her four years. Golden graduated from Keuka College with a degree in Biology while minoring in American Sign Language and Chemistry.
